Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Far East Movement, fun., Nick Cannon, Soul Children of Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Mindless Behavior, Marc Anthony and members of the cast of ‘Glee’ are also on the bill.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee made the announcement today (Jan. 11) that the Kids’ Inaugural concert will take place Jan. 19, while the official Inaugural ball is scheduled for Jan. 21.
